Emotional Upheaval

Transparent happiness ripples in the wind that
Carries me into twilight
Invisible feelings sparkle in the moonlight then
Drip onto naked skin

Verity
quickly covered
Hidden, 
Like shadows in the dark

Fear keeps me silent.

Silliness
like a band-aid ripped off 
Is stinging truth

The heart on my sleeve
A deceptive impression of
Secrets buried deep

Will you be my shoveling muse?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
